Peloton's Tunde Oyeneyin on Building Confidence and Making Space for Love
Q: How did you decide to leave a stable cosmetics career for Peloton?
She trusted a gut feeling after a 'blue light' vision and the encouragement of friends; despite practical concerns, she pursued the path she believed in, understanding that opportunity and timing can be divine.
Former Anchor Joan Lunden on Breaking Barriers in Morning TV and Finding Strength After Cancer
Q: What advice did Barbara Walters give you about equality and rising in the field?
Don't fight for equality right away; focus on excelling in every small assignment so you're noticed, and later you can push for bigger opportunities.
Former Anchor Joan Lunden on Breaking Barriers in Morning TV and Finding Strength After Cancer
Q: How did you manage motherhood and a demanding on-air schedule?
I negotiated to bring my baby to work, used on-air moments to normalize breastfeeding, and insisted on being present for both career and family while adapting the workflow.
Former Anchor Joan Lunden on Breaking Barriers in Morning TV and Finding Strength After Cancer
Q: What was it like entering a network morning show as a woman in the 1970s?

Esther Perel on Why Desire Fades and How to Find Romance Again
Q: What typically turns people on in long-term relationships beyond the obvious sexual arousal?
Turn-ons come from partners being in their element, surprising us, showing vulnerability in accessible ways, and sharing playful, non-responsible moments that allow us to see a broader side of them.
